    What are the pros and cons of using the aclient vs dagent?

    Should l be upgrading all my aclient to dagent's?

    Also the dagent not has a system tray icon anymore?

    Personally, I am not a fan of the dagent. The gui is not password protected and I have a problem keeping clients connected. If you do not have any Vista or Win2003 clients, I would suggest you stick with the aclient. It seems to be more reliable and secure.

    Sorry, I misspoke...I meant Win2008 requires dagent. I believe you can get away with aclient on the Win2003 servers.

    AClient will work on Windows 2003 servers. Only Vista and Windows 2008 require DAgent.
    I've had nothing but problems with DAgent in XP and 2003 so I'd recommend AClient for anything other than Vista or 2008.

    Same way for us. stick with AClient on XP 2003 2000 etc... too many issues with DAgent on XP especially
    Only Vista with DAgent but we have few ...
